NO DECISION. Philip Morris Companies Inc. said Monday its board considered but made no decision on the possibility of separating its huge food and tobacco businesses, and is continuing to study the matter. The world's biggest cigarette manufacturer confirmed 11 days ago that it was examining the idea of dividing its tobacco business from its other operations that include food, beer, financial services and real estate. The New York-based conglomerate has a tobacco operation in Richmond.
